Daly has been told by the Reds to play at Norths
The Whisperer
Jimmy Flynn (14)
From what I was told, he was told to go to Brothers but wanted to play for Norths and being on a one year deal only he was free to chose where to go.

Who told him that? Sam Cordingley?

If we assume the QRU aren’t totally evil - I think it’s plausible Pup McCormack possibly requested Daly be allocated there or the QRU simply thought he would be a good fit due to the Randwick connection.

Great addition for Easts

Top 4 predictions anyone?

Easts are going to need all the help they can get this year.
Several players hanging up the boots from last years team and no major recruits.
Could be a tough year.

Jimmy Flynn (14)
Who has hung the boots up?

Teti has multiple caps though
Lost the captain and 7 Milo. Leaming as well who is experienced.
a few going back to the bank in Asiata and JP.
Sankey gone as well hasn’t he?
easts will be giving lots of new caps this year you’d think before the influx of reds returnees

Could be Teti (unsure if the Drua website has been updated - but he is listed as a player) I don’t think reg actually said how many caps the former test player is.
Another name is Droasese but he is kind of a superstar now from his days playing for the bulldogs… I’m sure if he is not playing for Drua. Big money from Japan or France could be on his radar.
also Australia does have a history of capping Fijians into the wallabies so I’m going to guess it’s one of the other names I suggested because they are kind of past their primes & probably back in Brisbane post rugby retirement (or waiting for their next opportunity)

Isn't Droasese the incumbant Fijian fullback? Hard to see how he's not playing professionally somewhere?

Easts had a pretty strong Reggies team too. They pantsed GPS in the GF. I am sure some of them will take their chances with the possible opportunities in 1's.

Yep Sankey Gone.
Also Alex Smit. Gone to Canberra. Along with Will Kirk (Although didn't start many games)
Jordy Careira having a year off apparently.
Fair few 2nd graders will have to make the step up especially in the forwards.
SouthernX
Peter Johnson (47)
yes that’s what I was alluding too when I said he is a superstar.
crazy he got his first crack at wests playing colts… I remember the first time I saw him play I think he side stepped & goose stepped the whole length of the football field and beat at least half a dozen different defenders in the one sequence.

Good for Alex
Is he part of the brumbies wider squad in anyway? I’m sure Mowen would have been in his ear about progressing his development.
MoneyBill685
Ward Prentice (10)
Yeah I heard Mowen took both of them down to Canberra to get some playing time in front of the brumbies people in the hope of landing contracts.
Not sure if they are officially part of the brumbies wider squad but they are playing club rugby there this year.

Also heard Pio Nakubuwai gone to Perth for wider squad.
